This is a massive grain of salt. Not saying it is impossible. I expect it to have had the biggest console launch in gaming history. But lets wait until we get some better data. Either an official statement from Nintendo or data from trackers like Famitsu and Circana.

Of course, we'll only get a few pictures here and there of the whole incomplete ordeal before Nintendo make its official statement.

Should we expect to come relatively soon-ish or do you think this is something to be heard of only on their next fiscal meeting ?

I am hoping we get a press release from Nintendo this week giving us first day or first week sales numbers. Famitsu (Japan) for launch week will come out this Thursday and Circana (US) for all of June will drop July 23. Hopefully we get as much data as possible to make the VGC estimates as accurate as possible.
